It's designed to significantly enhance Ethereum's scalability by introducing a new type of data storage called "blobs." These blobs allow for efficient, short-term storage of extensive data sets off the main blockchain while ensuring their processing availability. This mechanism reduces the overall transaction costs and paves the way for more scalable Layer 2 solutions by creating a separate space for batch processing of transactions. <strong>Proto-Danksharding is a critical step towards Ethereum's vision of achieving high transaction throughput, aiming to accommodate over 100,000 transactions per second.</strong><br><br><a href="https://twitter.com/PaulYa5hin?ref=p2p.org">Pavel Yashin</a>, a leading data analyst and researcher at P2P.org, shares his insights on this upgrade's impact on the Ethereum ecosystem.</p><blockquote>"EIP-4844 will create a separate blockspace for L2 batch processing, resulting in a two-dimensional fee market," explains Yashin. "This means Layer 2 solutions will have their own EIP-1559-like market, optimizing the costs of uploading data and potentially leading to a drastic decrease in L2 fees. The implications for the blockspace markets and the staking economy are profound."</blockquote><h3 id="the-impact-on-blockspace-markets">The Impact on Blockspace Markets</h3><p>Currently, L2 smart contracts are among the top consumers of gas on Ethereum, utilizing approximately 12-15% of blockspace primarily for batch uploading. Introducing a separate blockspace for these operations will alleviate this pressure, lowering base fees until new consumers fill the gap.<br></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/02/GGSzSh9WUAA1jP5.jpeg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1696" height="892" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/02/GGSzSh9WUAA1jP5.jpeg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/02/GGSzSh9WUAA1jP5.jpeg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/02/GGSzSh9WUAA1jP5.jpeg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/02/GGSzSh9WUAA1jP5.jpeg 1696w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Data from Dune Analytics gathered by Pavel Yashin</figcaption></figure><p>The Dencun upgrade heralds a significant improvement for Layer 2 (L2) solutions, as they will gain independence from the congestion and fee spikes of Layer 1 (L1). Only local congestion within L2s will influence their operation, making Ethereum's blockspace more efficient and user-friendly. </p><blockquote><strong>This independence from L1 congestion ensures that L2 solutions can offer a more consistent and predictable fee structure, significantly enhancing the user experience on the Ethereum network.</strong></blockquote><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/02/GGSzoO2X0AAfNJ-.jpeg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1694" height="892" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/02/GGSzoO2X0AAfNJ-.jpeg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/02/GGSzoO2X0AAfNJ-.jpeg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/02/GGSzoO2X0AAfNJ-.jpeg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/02/GGSzoO2X0AAfNJ-.jpeg 1694w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>"Despite being huge gas consumers, L2s are nowhere near a major source of priority fees: most batch posting transactions occur at the bottom of the block.

"For stakers, the change may pass by mostly unnoticed, affecting only a fraction of APR from priority fees income," Yashin notes. "However, the decrease in base and priority fees could make Ethereum more attractive to a broader user base."
